Europe launches program to lure scientists away from the US

please please please make a program to lure mediocre and burnt-out software developers away from the US

I'm not a scientist, but I'd like to be lured away.

The bait is freedom.

I mean they don't have to try hard.

• free education
• pro science
• not fascist (yet)

Actual research positions only, it looks like.

"to lure". Evil Europe planning an evil scheme to lure innocent scientists and kidnap them away from the US 😱

I majored in political science in college. Can that count?…. Please? Please? PLEASE?

“lure”

more like “help them make the move” its not like the need any luring

the reverse einstein 😄

Where are the numbers?

These decisions, together with concerns about future funding cuts, have led to an exodus of researchers from the United States, with scientists now seeking to continue their careers outside of the country.

"Exodus"? That's vague.

An analysis published in Nature found that 75 percent of American scientists surveyed were considering leaving the country.

Considering?

Meanwhile, data from Nature Careers, a global scientific employment platform, reveals that between January and March of this year, American professionals sent 32 percent more applications to foreign institutions compared to the same period in 2024. Furthermore, the number of American users exploring opportunities outside the country increased by 35 percent.

At the same time, international interest in working in the United States has declined significantly. During the first quarter of the year, applications from scientists from Canada, China, and Europe to US research centers fell by 13 percent, 39 percent, and 41 percent, respectively.

That's more like it!

Incidentally I learned that the Euro has overtaken the US dollar again (used to be the other way round last time I looked, some time last year).

pressure from one side, lure from the other
